My name is Vasudha Gaikwad and I’m an aspiring nift student. In order to prepare for the entrance exam i got a lot of recommendations to join SILICA mg road for their crash course. I’ve secured common merit rank 391 and category merit rank 10 in nift entrance exam 2022. SILICA has played a very important role in my design school preparation journey and I’m extremely grateful for this guidance and support.

I love how organized and well planned each of our sessions are! Besides the predation for entrances we are exposed to various designs, get first hand tips from past alumni who are currently in top tier design schools. The quality of teaching and approachable teachers definitely make the experience a lot more enriching.
